And, yes, I tried noddegyeknom as well.

So does anyone know what the big deal about this shirt is? Are they giving it away? Or is it made with gold threads? or what? In other words, why are we all waiting with bated breath, what is the gain?

I got the error, too.....but I was wondering if maybe we're wrong and whatever deal is there is already available (similar to how most of the April Fools deals just have to be found -- and the pirate ones, too). If you could solve it early enough, you could jump in to the deal.

So, I'm wondering if we're just WRONG (I know -- impossible you say) and the deal is already active....just not yet found.

Cripes peeps!!! The woot staff has said several times in this community forum the url won't be active until the last card.

What if the letters are encrypted... and the numbers are the key to the encryption? So we are all jumping on to MonkeyXXXXXXX and it's really TWINKIESRULE? Just sayin.... Woot is quite a spectacular company and to just give the URL by making us simply wait is not like them.

Crapbeard's Treasure was Woot giving us the URL by making us simply wait.

It isn't being given away, per the initial instructions. Unless it comes with a pretty sweet Big Ol' Cataclysm I don't see where the value is.

Of course we are in the heart of Christmas shopping season, so maybe this really is the Shirt of Shirts.

I think there are tons of repeats for this woot-off because they bought too many things that aren't that great, and they're desperately trying to get rid of them before the end of the year for inventory purposes. Hopefully by the new year we'll see less repeats and better newer deals, but this is just a guess.

Good point. Woot has gone corporate. This site was so much fun in the old days, now it is just another branch of Amazon trying to sell "all merchandise on earth". What a sad end to a wonderful culture!

really gets into the value add. Like I said, unless they were messing about the Big Ol' Cataclysm or the not-free or there is some other thing about the shirt that makes it spectacular, I'm hard pressed to see how they are coming up with a shirt of universal acclaim.

I smell an opportunity for a couple of cool nerds to make it big... make a new Woot!, and they will come.
